ENGLAND are currently struggling to break down Group K opponents Andorra in what has been a cagey World Cup qualifier so far.
Jude Bellingham and Noni Madueke have forced goalkeeper Alvarez to make a couple of relatively comfortable saves from distance.
While captain Harry Kane fluffed his lines from close range.
But besides that, it has been a lacklustre performance from the Three Lions, and Thomas Tuchel could look to make some changes.

ENGLAND were booed off at half-time following their boring first-half display against Andorra.
The Three Lions endured a toothless first-half against a side ranked 153rd in the world.
Inevitable boos rang out at the break with England failing to score in a near-empty stadium.
Thomas Tuchel’s side couldn’t do much with their 73 per cent possession, 10 shots, eight corners and 17 crosses.
Jude Bellingham has had three of England’s four shots on target.
Fans were less than impressed with the display that they had witnessed after the whistle signalled the end of the first half.
The players were booed off the pitch by the few travelling supporters.
As they made their way down the tunnel jeers from the stands could be heard.
Captain Harry Kane went the closest and should’ve really put Tuchel’s men ahead after stabbing Noni Madueke’s low cross wide.

MEGAN McKenna has tied the knot with her footballer fiance Oliver Burke in a stunning ceremony.
The TV star, who got engaged to the Oliver in June 2023, shared photos from her fairytale wedding.
Megan looked like a princess in a white bridal gown with a long trail and veil.
She was seen beaming with joy as she posed with her new husband on the aisle, surrounded by hundred of roses.
The big day comes eight months after they welcomed their first child together.
Megan gave birth to a son named Landon in Germany on October 7.
The reality star wore a silk mikado ballgown with a pleated skirt, a sweeping train, and a corset bodice.
Megan then changed into a second gown, wearing a evening dress with a square neckline and pleated overskirt at the back.
The former Towie star captioned the post: “Mr & Mrs Burke.”

A GROUP of disabled people who visited Leinster House to deliver accessibility training ended up being “trapped” after a lift broke down.
They said they were “astonished” at how inaccessible the building was after their visit to Dublin last year.
In an email, they described accessible toilets that weren’t large enough to cater for wheelchairs, buses being refused access to drop off people with mobility issues, and a broken-down lift that left five members “stranded”.
They told the head of the Oireachtas that members were stuck on a corridor and “very embarrassed” as able-bodied people had to “edge” their way past them on their way to offices or lunch.
A message said: “From the very start, we encountered barriers and exclusion.”
The visit was made by members of the HSE Gold Star Disability Awareness Training programme and volunteers from Tipperary last June on the invitation of an Oireachtas member.
In the email, they said the room where they delivered their training session was inaccessible on “a number of disability access levels”.
When members tried to go downstairs to the restaurant, one lift broke down and another was out of service.
The email said: “The lift to offer access to the lower corridor en route to the restaurant broke down when we had five people safely down, leaving others stranded at the top.”
The message continued: “Every person there was tired, embarrassed, disappointed, hungry and let down once more in terms of their rights to universal access and the dignity of using a toilet privately.”
It said these were just some of the issues that needed to be addressed and asked for a meeting with Oireachtas management.
In response, the Clerk of the Dail Peter Finnegan expressed his “sincere apologies” for how the visit had unfolded.
He said: “We fell well short of the standards that people are entitled to expect when they visit their National Parliament.”
THE WARM and wet weather is the perfect conditions for slugs, with the persistent pest chomping away at gardeners precious plants.
Fruit and veg are all targets for slugs who emerge at night to eat leaves.
They love the night and high humidity but hide during the day.
With wet weather forecast for the weekend, gardeners are preparing for super slug damage.
There are a number of DIY slug hacks all gardeners have tried, including cucumber, tea towels and copper tape.
We can’t wait to try this low-cost, 100% organic hack from the King’s senior gardener Jack Stook.
The organic and home-made slug catcher has the royal seal of approval – but with a paupers price tag.
All you’ll need are some common kitchen ingredients and a container.
To create your DIY slug trap you’ll need some yeast and sugar, and a container to create your slug trap.
To save money, you can use the base of a bottle with the top cut off.
Simply mix a tablespoon of yeast and a tablespoon of sugar to water and pour into the container.
When you’re done, bury the container in the soil with the lid exposed to catch any slugs sliding by.
It works, because slugs are attracted to the yeast.
By mixing yeast, sugar and water you create a frothy and fermented mixture that slugs love.
This hack is so popular because it’s low cost and creates no waste.
OK, so keen gardeners will spot that it’s not entirely new.
Gardeners have been using the beer trap for centuries. Slugs have always preferred the leftovers of a pint to precious plants.
This DIY slug hack achieves the same result – but saves you from cracking open a can.
Leave the container exposed for the evening and you’ll come back to your very own slug pub in the morning.
The smell of the fermenting liquid can prove hugely popular so don’t be surprised if you wake to see a container full of drunk critters.
You can remove the slugs and replace the mixture as often as you need to.
Your outdoor beast brewery is cheaper and better than pouring away good beer.
It’s a DIY slug trap that we can all raise a toast to.
Yes, they chomp your precious plants, but having slugs in your garden should be celebrated.
Rebecca Miller, Associate Editor for Fabulous, and novice gardener, believes we should work in harmony with slugs and not try to get rid of them altogether.
“We’ve been conditioned as a society to believe we must have gardens with straight edges, short lawns with pretty stripes and perfect borders with flowers constantly blooming.
But unruly hedgerows, abundance of tall wildflowers buzzing with insects, and bugs and slugs galore in flowerbeds is totally natural – and necessary.
I understand that your plants might be very precious to you, but we need slugs and snails. They provide food for all sorts of mammals, birds, slow worms, earthworms, insects – and they are part of the natural balance.
By removing them, we upset the ecosystem and can do a lot of harm – thrushes in particular thrive on them!
It is said British Gardeners use some 650 billion slug pellets per year! Please find a natural alternative – the poison from slug pellets enters the food chain and can kill hedgehogs, who consider slugs and snails as a tasty treat.
If you’re truly desperate, consider using Diatomaceous Earth – it is a naturally occurring compound approved for organic use, that can be used for pest control.
And while you’re at it, challenge yourself to grow “sacrificial plants”.
Sacrificial planting, commonly known as trap cropping, is the deliberate act of growing plants to attract pests. Pick a slugs favourite vegetable or ornamental plant for them to nibble on, and they will leave your more precious plants alone.”
The slugs in your DIY trap will drown in fermenting liquid (but it’s not a bad way to go).
If you’re searching for a more humane way to rid your garden of slugs, you can head out at night when it’s wet and humid and collect them in a bucket.
Once you’re happy you’ve got them all, you can take them someone safe, like a grassy or wooded area and set them free.
